Nostalgia time. This was my first ever flight, as a school kid on my way to Canberra. Circa 1978. Up, up and away-ee-a.

Just south of Broome



Ultra-light in Kauai

Somewhere over Indonesia on the way up to HCMC from Sydney. The slightly surreal blue tint is from the semi dimmed window of the Vietnam Airlines 787.

Won't see this again......Virgin Australia 777 at dawn somewhere over the Pacific on the way to LA.

Wow did you have your own camera then?

Haha! No, actually. I borrowed my Dad's camera. I used slide film (scanned a few years back), and it had a separate light meter.

For a moment I thought you were going to say it was volcanic ash cloud...

All the surviving Space Shuttles. Got to say I was pretty pleased with myself for having seen them all.:

The Enterprise, on the Intrepid, New York


The Atlantis, at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida


The Discovery at the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum, Washington DC


The Endeavour at the California Science Center, San Francisco

I don't know where to start! Lord Howe Island has such a nice back drop.

Just Jane - a WW2 Lancaster Bomber that does Taxi runs around the airport.
Imagine the guys in WW2 flying them - most didnt even have a car back then.
As one vet told me...it would be like a present day 20 year old learning to fly the space shuttle but the Martians were shooting at you.

Not a photo, but 10 years ago flying AKL-LAX on a QF 744 I recorded this:

GREAT Thread OP! Only 3 pictures, that is hard. I will be back with more over time

ONE - My first plane wing shot. Coming into land in Vancouver January 1990 on a flight from Toronto. The logs in the Fraser River reminded me of "The Beachcombers"... I love the theme song



TWO - Why I always take a window seat, appropriately aligned for either sunrise or sunset. The one below was flying out of Hobart on the early morning flight. I have this printed and on my wall!



THREE - Plenty of number threes to upload, but I was impressed with the view of Mt Kinabalu on a flight from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan on an early morning flight.

I haven't prescribed a limit for this thread.

Loved your sunrise shot - there's something quite special about watching a beautiful sunrise from the air, but my photos never seem to do it justice.

Really great sunrise (or sunset) shot. I’ve tried for years but never managed one as good as that

And a Qantas 747 at SCL - because there's no feeling quite like seeing a Qantas jumbo jet arrive to take you home when you've been away for a long time:
